themselves for a third wave of coronavirus infections. new lockdown measures have come into force in poland and across large parts of france including around the capital paris. switzerland is among other countries extending their restrictions. president biden has appealed for unity during a visit to atlanta, saying many asian americans now live in fear. his comments came in the wake of a killing spree at massage parlours in atlanta which left eight people dead, six of them women of asian descent. a volcano that was inactive for around 800 years has erupted near the icelandic capital reykjavik. it comes after the region experienced thousands of small earthquakes in the space of a few weeks. it caused the night sky to glow bright red.

sunday, for most of us, is census day — the once—in—a—decade compulsory survey that aims to provide an up—to—date picture of much of the population. and this time there's a new voluntary question on sexuality for over—16s. there's also one asking whether your gender identity matches your sex registered at birth. jessica parker reports. census 1951, this snapshot usually takes place every ten years. archive: thus, it will be - possible to answer mechanically are doing part—time work? running for over two centuries, things have moved on. thank you, babe. welcoming the new questions, keland lisa. we are counted now in a way that we haven't been previously. yes, it does feel that statistics have been guestimated, to some extent, but now we're going to have, hopefully, accurate representation. do you think it's a bit nosy?

it'sjust representative of life in britain. yeah. it might feel nosy, but the census in itself is a nosy document, isn't it? yeah, how are those two new questions any different to anything else that's on that census document? they're not. taking calls, a charity in brighton, offering advice to lgbt people and some reassurance. this is the first year that the census is online. there's probably a little more anxiety as to where that information is going. that kind of idea that their information is just kind of, you know, out in the big, wide world. and it's specifically if you're not out to anybody or you're not out to your household, that can be really, really scary. the picture emerging won't be 100% accurate, although anyone not out to their household can ask for a private access code. overall, it is hoped this census will provide a clearer view. so, for the first time, sexuality and gender identity —— so, for the first time, sexuality and gender identity will be a matter of national record. what difference will that make?

well, some organisations say the data could be very useful. both in terms of funding and for this youth homelessness charity, how best to focus support. as we expand our services, we would like to know where young people are that identify as lgbtq plus, so that we can target those areas and make our services go further. landmark buildings lit up in census purple ahead of this sunday, the day to base your answers on. in scotland, the census has been pushed back a year. in northern ireland, there is no question on gender identity. nevertheless, a hope it might all shine some sort of light on the society we live in. jessica parker, bbc news. don't forget to fill it basing it on tomorrow. it is coming up to 25 to six. now it is time for the travel show. this week, look back at some of our top to thailand. henry is rolling with the punches. look at his abs! _

will soon be able to travel. in the meantime, stay with us for inspiration and tips that will be in handy when we can travel again. now the tried and true traveller favourite, thailand. we kick off literally in the thai capital of bangkok, where in 2017 we convinced henry to train like a champion and try his hand at the country's national sport. muay thai is said to have been developed by thai warriors on the battlefields of the 14th century where became known as the art of the eight limbs. that is because hands, shins, and elbows and knees are all used as points of contact stop really quite high octane. these fighters are absolutely astonishing watching up close and personal, but somebody decided it was a good thing for me to trade up first—hand so

tomorrow morning i am heading out to an actual muay thai camp that trains muay thai fighters from all over thailand. i hope that i don't come out on the other end to bruised and bound up. —— banged up. so i had 45 minutes to the north of bangkok to the gym where some of the country's top champions live and train. tourists who want to get fit can stay at camps like this throughout thailand but this throughout thailand but this place is known as the country's toughest.- this place is known as the country's toughest. how has the experience _ country's toughest. how has the experience been _ country's toughest. how has the experience been so _ country's toughest. how has the experience been so far? - country's toughest. how has the experience been so far? good, l experience been so far? good, man, these guys are tough. really, really tough. i mean, they are the best. back home i am training two hours a day and thatis am training two hours a day and that is supposed to be like the real tough stuff for competition. here you train like six or seven hours a day and that is the normal. these

guys train twice a day, every day. then determined to make me sweat even more. —— they are determined. it is all about

balance. you always think about leaning into a punch. actually, with muay thai, you have to stay pretty much dead centre, keep your weight evenly distributed. it is weird. it is a breaking habits. children here start learning from a very young age and it takes years to master the practice. i am about to step in the ring with momo who is top contender for muay thai injapan. he looks really mean. look at his abs! they are ridiculous! i have got a fair way to go yet. 0k. practice,

yeah? just the basics! whistle blows. thank you. thank ou. iwill whistle blows. thank you. thank you. i will have _ whistle blows. thank you. thank you. i will have to _ whistle blows. thank you. thank you. i will have to call _ whistle blows. thank you. thank you. i will have to call it _ you. i will have to call it again. these guys are finely tuned athletes. may call today. i have had the tiniest bit of training here. but my time here is up so i hope you enjoyed my agony. greatjob from henry, there, channelling his inner warrior. up next a local

community battling to save its wildlife. back in 2019 we sent mike corey to the coast where conservationists have found an ingenious although muddy solution to an ongoing conservation challenge. few international travellers venture here, but in recent years the amazing transformation of its ecosystem has begun to draw people like me. it might not be one of the most beautiful ecosystems, but it is actually quite full of life. there are snails, cockles, crabs, macaques, birds — all kinds of wildlife here. there is a monkey right here with a crab in its mouth. this place is quite an experience.

the shellfish, shrimp, and crabs which thrive in this environment were almost at the brink of collapse a few years ago because of the dramatic loss of one single thing, mangoes. industrial shrimp farming left the mangrove forest decimated and weathered a fragile ecosystem which the villagers depended on to survive. but the local people began to fight back. paiboon helped bring hundreds of people from nearby villages to replant the

mangoes. eventually there won't be going to pay off in a caught the attention of royalty. —— mangroves. 0k, ok, when! ok, when i knew that i was going to be planting mangroves, i brought hiking boots. good traction, waterproof, but apparently this is not the footwear of choice. instead we wear these, a fusion of yoga pants and a woman's brassiere. i put these on my feet and we

go waist deep into the mud and thatis go waist deep into the mud and that is how we played mangroves. iam ready. three, two, one.... iam knee deep mangroves. iam ready. three, two, one.... i am knee deep and still sinking further. how does it work? one? i have one. i dig a hole. and you painted in, just like a normal tree. alright. over 32 years since the repainting began the mangrove forest has regained a third of what was lost. right here? that is good? ok. fun fact about the mangrove tree, they are actually shaped like this because when they fall from the trees, they are supposed to stick into the ground themselves and basically play themselves. there we go. mangrove forest, one step bigger. high five.

mangrove forest, one step bigger. highfive. and mangrove forest, one step bigger. high five. and there is more than one way to get clean after a day working in a mangroves. years ago, local children found another use for these boards. it's great to give something back when you are travelling, but it is even better if you can have a little fun along the way. mike getting good and messy there of the thai coast. wouldn't it be nice when we get to have adventures like that again? followed by a nice warm shower, of course. stay with us for more memories coming up, including henry learning survival skills when he gets lost in the thai jungle. he gets lost in the thai “uncle. , . , ., jungle. this, ladies and gentlemen, _ jungle. this, ladies and gentlemen, is - jungle. this, ladies and gentlemen, is actually | gentlemen, is actually extremely comfortable. find extremely comfortable. and ra'an extremely comfortable. and rajan looks _ extremely comfortable. and rajan looks awesome some a car during a stay at a buddhist monastery. during a stay at a buddhist monastery-— during a stay at a buddhist

this barefoot explorer is survival expert dave williams, and four years he has been teaching trackers basic survival skills that could mean the difference between life and death. —— for years. the difference between life and death. —— foryears. dave, i'm lost, i need your help. what is the first thing i should do. relax, it is not that big of a deal. you are not that lost. i have a mobile phone, very low battery, what are my priorities? you use it or save it? ., ., ., ., ., it? you might go one bar or one hour of light _ it? you might go one bar or one hour of light but _ it? you might go one bar or one hour of light but i _ it? you might go one bar or one hour of light but i would - it? you might go one bar or one hour of light but i would not - hour of light but i would not wait for that. the chance of us getting rescued now are pretty slim. accept our fate, getting rescued now are pretty slim. accept ourfate, enjoy the night, we have a night in the night, we have a night in thejungle to let's the night, we have a night in the jungle to let's do this and tomorrow we will figure out, walk around a little bit and find two bars and make a call. dave's most important tip is to keep hydrated. without water the body and brain serco into shot down so that is what we

this was the satellite picture then from friday, showing we had some decent sunshine, particularly across parts of scotland. that was how the sunshine looked in the highlands. not far away from that in sterlingshire, we have the highest temperature in the uk — up to 17 celsius, very mild for the time of year. but it wasn't like that everywhere. north—east england had a really chilly day on friday — just 6 celsius. a big jump upwards in temperatures, though, on the way later today. why the change? well, yesterday, we had the winds coming in from the north—east. it's all down to the wind direction, you see. these north—easterly winds brought those low temperature to eastern england because they were travelling over these really cold seas. the temperature in the water just 6 degrees at the moment. but the winds today are changing direction in a big way. they are coming in from a north—westerly direction, hence that big jump upwards in temperatures widely across eastern areas of england. now, here's the weather picture over the next few hours. we've got cloud across england and wales, a few gaps in the cloud for scotland, slowly filtering into parts of northern england.

and on account of the cloudy skies, it's not cold — temperatures around 6—7 celsius. on into saturday then, this weather front is going to go nowhere fast, staying across central england and wales all day. another cold front will push into the far north of the uk, bringing rain to northern scotland late in the day. could be an odd patch of drizzle as well from that slow—moving front across england and wales — that's why it's going to stay cloudy here, but we'll see some sunshine. central and southern scotland and particularly north—east england, that's where the best of the sunshine is going to be, and it's going to be a much warmer day across north—east england. in the warmest spots, temperatures reach 17 celsius. but those north—westerly winds bringing some cooler weather into north—west england and north wales as well. sunday, while a cold front will have moved across most of the uk, bringing cloudy weather across england and wales again, what that cold front is going to do, well, it's going to introduce cooler and fresher air. so sunday, temperature—wise, temperatures not quite as high — still, though, managing to reach double figures for most of us. what about next week?

well, of the area of high pressure bringing the settled weather is going to continue to influence our weather but it will probably gradually turn a little more unsettled across the north—west.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. our headlines today: a shot in the arm for the prime minister as he urges people to take up the vaccine. it was very good, very quick, and you know what i'm going to say — i cannot recommend too highly. but europe braces for a third wave of infections, with fresh lockdowns in parts of france and poland. the six nations grand slam beckons for wales if they can win in france, tonight, roared on by their captain, alun wynjones, who's been dubbed �*superman' by the french.
